Morris Cogeneration Facility

Providing the least carbon-intensive viable energy solution to a hard-to-abate industrial sector

Morris Cogeneration is a 192 megawatt (MW) operational combined heat and power facility located in Morris, Illinois.

Fengate acquired ownership of the facility under its strategic operating partnership with energy generation investor and asset manager, Ironclad Energy. The partnership was established in 2022 to acquire and operate cogeneration, district energy, and other industrial generation projects across the United States and Canada.

The Morris Cogeneration facility began commercial operations in 1998 and uses General Electric (GE) technology, including three combustion turbines and a steam turbine, to produce power and steam on-site for LyondellBasell’s Morris petrochemical facility and sell surplus capacity to the grid.

The project underscores Fengate’s commitment to decarbonization, as the facility provides the least carbon-intensive, commercially viable energy solution to a hard-to-abate industrial sector, while meeting the high reliability standards required by LyondellBasell.
